12 In ref. 9c, the azidation was carried out using substrates
with an N-Boc-methylsulfamate group. In our case, the
hydroxylation proceeded in the case of both 3a and N-Boc-
3a. Therefore, the progress of hydroxylation instead of azi-
dation was not due to non-protection of the nitrogen atom
in 3a.
